Yes, you explained the situation above.

I'm trying to come up with the scenario.

How about this:

She turns the wheels away from the curb with her foot on the service brakes. Turns the key off and removes it. Releases the service brake and the vehicle rolls into the curb and jams the lock into the steering mechanism.

I don't see how it's possible any other way. If the tire contacts the curb with the engine running, the problem as stated cannot occur, IMHO.
